Poly(4-vinylpyridine) supported acidic ionic liquid: A novel solid catalyst for the efficient synthesis of 2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-ones under ultrasonic irradiation

A novel poly(4-vinylpyridine) supported acidic ionic liquid catalyst was synthesized by the reaction of 4-vinylpyridine with 1,3-propanesultone, followed by the polymerization and the addition of the heteropolyacid. Due to the combination of polymer features and ionic liquid, it acted as a heterogeneous catalyst to effectively catalyze the cyclocondensation reaction of anthranilamide with aldehydes under ultrasonic irradiation and afforded the corresponding 2,3-dihydro-4(1H)-quinazolinones compounds in good to excellent yields. In addition, the catalyst could be easily recovered by the filtration and reused six times without significant loss of catalytic activity. More importantly, the use of ultrasonic irradiation can obviously accelerate the reaction.

A self-assembled bisoxazoline/Pd composite microsphere as an excellent catalyst for Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reactions

A palladium complex based on a novel oxazoline, a solid microsphere catalyst, was successfully prepared. The structure and composition of the solid catalyst were characterized by SEM, 1H NMR, TGA and FT-IR. This catalyst exhibits high catalytic activity for Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reactions of various aryl halides and arylboronic acids in aqueous media. Moreover, the catalyst shows outstanding stability and reusability, and it can be recovered simply and effectively and reused eight times without any activity decrease.
